# Aina Project's Catalan multi-speaker text-to-speech model |
|
## Model description |
|
|
|
This model was trained from scratch using the [Coqui TTS](https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS) toolkit on a combination of 3 datasets: [Festcat](http://festcat.talp.cat/devel.php), [OpenSLR69](http://openslr.org/69/) and [Common Voice v12](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/ca). For the training, we used 487 hours of recordings from 255 speakers. We have trimmed and denoised the data which all except Common Voice can be found in a seperate dataset in [festcat_trimmed_denoised](projecte-aina/festcat_trimmed_denoised) and [openslr69_trimmed_denoised](projecte-aina/openslr-slr69-ca-trimmed-denoised). |
|
|
|
A live inference demo can be found in our spaces, [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/projecte-aina/tts-ca-coqui-vits-multispeaker). |
|
|
|
The model needs our fork of [espeak-ng](https://github.com/projecte-aina/espeak-ng) to work correctly. For installation and deployment please consult the docker file of our [inference demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/projecte-aina/tts-ca-coqui-vits-multispeaker/blob/main/Dockerfile). |
|
|
|
## Intended uses and limitations |
|
|
|
You can use this model to generate synthetic speech in Catalan with different voices. |
|
|
|
## How to use |
|
### Usage |
|
|
|
Required libraries: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
pip install git+https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS@dev#egg=TTS |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Synthesize a speech using python: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
import tempfile |
|
import gradio as gr |
|
import numpy as np |
|
import os |
|
import json |
|
|
|
from typing import Optional |
|
from TTS.config import load_config |
|
from TTS.utils.manage import ModelManager |
|
from TTS.utils.synthesizer import Synthesizer |
|
|
|
model_path = # Absolute path to the model checkpoint.pth |
|
config_path = # Absolute path to the model config.json |
|
speakers_file_path = # Absolute path to speakers.pth file |
|
|
|
text = "Text to synthetize" |
|
speaker_idx = "Speaker ID" |
|
|
|
synthesizer = Synthesizer( |
|
model_path, config_path, speakers_file_path, None, None, None, |
|
) |
|
wavs = synthesizer.tts(text, speaker_idx) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
|

### Hyperparameter |
|
|
|
The model is based on VITS proposed by [Kim et al](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.06103). The following hyperparameters were set in the coqui framework. |
